‘I know he’s a pedophile. As I grew older, he lost interest in me’: New R Kelly accuser claims she was 16 when singer raped her, and says she stayed with him for six years fearing he would kill her if she denied his sexual requests

Danielle Williams, now 36, said she first started seeing R Kelly in 1998 after running into his manager who gave her the singer's business card

She then skipped school to meet the singer at his studio where she claims he raped her, with Williams only 16 at the time and unable to give consent

When he was done he gave her $1,000 and she was put in a cab, Williams told WGN 9

Williams spent six years with the singer after that, claiming she continued having sex with him out of fear that he would kill her

’As I grew older, he lost interest in me. So I know that he’s a pedophile,’ said Williams

Williams also shared her allegations with the Cook County State's Attorney's Office

A new woman has come forward claiming that she was sexually assaulted by R Kelly while still in high school.

Danielle Williams told WGN 9 that she was only 16 back in 1998 when she was given Kelly’s business card by his manager while dining out one night in downtown Chicago.

The aspiring model then went to Kelly’s studio for what she assumed was a music video audition, and after being left alone with the singer was allegedly raped, being too young at the time to legally consent to sex in the state of Illinois.

Williams, who had skipped school that day, said she was then given $1,000 and sent on her way.

This went on for six years according to Williams, now 36, who claims she continued to have sexual relations with Kelly out of fear that he would ‘kill her.’

Then, by the time she was 22, Kelly had lost interest claims Williams, who also shared her story with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

‘He just told me to take off my clothes and we would proceed from there,’ said Williams.

‘When I got in the cab, I got an envelope with $1,000. I had never seen that amount of money in my life. I had no concept of getting paid for sexual acts. I didn't think it applied to me, only for adults.’

Despite that initial encounter, Williams said that she continued to see Kelly for six more years, but notes it was fear that drove her to return to the singer.

‘I always felt like if I crossed him he would kill me,’ said Williams.

‘I just felt like he had the power to find me wherever I was.’

She was finally able to break free of Kelly with age, claiming that as she became a woman the singer’s desire for her began to wan.

’As I grew older, he lost interest in me. So I know that he’s a pedophile,’ said Williams.

‘I think that he should go to jail and the victims should get some type of restitution. Because the trajectory of my life changed at that moment. Nothing has ever been the same.’

Williams said she has been waiting years to share her story, and is on of two women who are known to have spoken with the State’s Attorney after Kim Foxx urged any victims or witnesses of Kelly’s alleged abuse to contact her office.

Kelly's lawyer Steve Greenberg has continued to insist that his client has committed no crimes.

'There are no underage women, there is no sex cult, it's all some reality TV made up story,' said Greenberg.

'No one has ever seen any evidence of it. There are no photos of him with these women. There's no anything.'

Meanwhile, Kelly's manager threatened to ruin a man and his family in a series of harassing texts and phone calls after learning he had participated in the new Lifetime series.

A police report filed in Georgia reveals that Don Russell texted and called Timothy Savage to say it 'would be best for him and his family if the documentary does not air.'

Russell later said that he and Kelly might have to release information that would destroy Savage, his family and his business.

Savage and his wife Jonelyn have been trying for years to get back their daughter Jocelyn, who ran off to be with Kelly shortly after meeting him backstage at a concert when she was only 17.

They believe that she is being held captive but the singer, but both Kelly and Jocelyn deny this is the case.
